About the Jazz Workshop Program:
Fusion!
Our first concert of the year will feature compositions blending Jazz with Rock, Funk, and Latin musics by Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Peter Herbolzheirmer, Roy Hargrove and others. UIC’s Jazz Workshop is a flexible ensemble open to all students. The instrumentation and personnel changes each semester and repertoire is chosen by the students and arranged for the group by Andy Baker.
About the Baker Combo Program:
Our program this evening features music from the Hard Bop era of the 1950s and 60s. The band members selected compositions by significant composers of the era: Horace Silver, Dizzy Gillespie, Clifford Brown and others.
